With Disney World adding more digital offerings such as Disney Genie Service, many have been wondering the future of MagicBands, today we have that answer!
MagicBands were first introduced at Walt Disney World in 2013, adding hands-free convenience for entering parks, Resort rooms and more.
The newest generation of wearable technology, MagicBand+ will debut 2022 at Walt Disney World!

The next-generation MagicBand+ will offer guests new technology such as color-changing lights coming alive at various times, haptic vibrations and gesture recognition. MagicBand+ will have guests engaging at Disney parks in all new ways.
Interactions Include:
- Play like a bounty hunter in a galaxy far, far away and find virtual bounties throughout Black Spire Outpost in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
- Interact with the “Disney Fab 50 Character Collection,” the golden sculptures spread throughout the Walt Disney World theme parks.
- Experience nighttime spectaculars in a new way as you see your band light up and complement the magic in the skies, including the new “Harmonious” at EPCOT and “Disney Enchantment” at Magic Kingdom Park.
Look to purchase MagicBand+ starting in 2022. Plus, Disney Resort guests and new & renewing Passholders will get a special pre-arrival price!
Traditional MagicBands will still be available.
